Some terms to know

In most situations, your lender doesn't want to repossess (take back) your home. (A lender can be a bank, credit union, insurance company, private individual, or loan company.) That can be a long and expensive process for them. They would rather have you keep your home and keep paying them.

But if you default (don't make payments), your lender can take legal action to try and repossess or sell your home. The legal action is called foreclosure.
